It's been 9 months since Alex Pretti was killed after being disarmed by federal agents and Renee Good being shot in the face by federal agents. No one has been held responsible. Images from Minneapolis in October 2026. My ongoing work from Minneapolis: chaddavis.photography/sets/iā€¦

Minneapolis get out the vote: Love fascism? Donā€™t vote! Ready to take it down? Show up Nov 3rd. Voting is like recycling only we can make it happen. Food prices are too damn high! Gas prices are too damn high! The rent is too damn high! Minneapolis October 2026
A bright yellow flyer stapled to a weathered utility pole reads ā€œLove Fascism? Donā€™t Vote!!ā€ and urges Minnesotans to vote on November 3. Autumn trees with yellow leaves blur in the background.

A poster reading ā€œVoting is like recycling,ā€ featuring a blue recycling bin, hangs on a Minneapolis utility pole alongside 2026 election information. A USPS mailbox with a ā€œThis Machine Kills Fascistsā€ sticker stands nearby.

This Fox News reporter says he left Minneapolis thinking the Karmel Mall was the ā€œepicenter of state politicsā€ šŸ˜‚

But Sabri also did 33 months in federal prison for bribing a public official in the 2000s. Heā€™s been described as a ā€œslumlordā€ by local media. I left Minneapolis feeling like Sabriā€™s Karmel Mall ā€” not the city council or the state capitol ā€” was the epicenter of state politics. startribune.com/minneapolis-ā€¦

Sabri is an interesting character. Heā€™s Palestinian-born, and has Minnesota politicians at all levels on speed dial. When he calls, they answer. He called a Somali state representative and asked him to do an interview with me. When the politician wouldnā€™t commit, he said: ā€œEnough with the politician bullshit. Are you gonna give him 10 minutes or not?ā€ (The interview never happened). 3/?

So check it out - I take pictures because I think it's important to show the world. I'm not financed by any news organization nor have I worked on assignment for these photos. The best way to show your support for my work is to share it with others. šŸ™ chaddavis.photography/sets/iā€¦

Says war crimes were committed at his HS earlier this year - Roosevelt High School. Asked Klobuchar why itā€™s okay to commit war crimes w/ chemical weapons in Minneapolis. ā€œIf we use it in Iran thatā€™s a war crime. If we used it on the streets of Minneapolis itā€™s okay?ā€

Former gov Jesse Ventura tells local podcast today that he was thinking of running again with Peter Najarian as his running mate. Told Amy Klobuchar in person: ā€œif I run Iā€™ll winā€ ā€œI donā€™t see a republican winning here in a decade after the gestapo got done.ā€
